Kalif Jackson, a 6-4, 200-pound wide receiver from Duncan U. Fletcher (Neptune Beach, Fla.), has Rutgers in his top five, he revealed via Twitter, Wednesday. Missouri, Duke, Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt round out the schools on his list.

The Rutgers staff signed Jacob Kraut out of the same school this past February, but that's not the only connection Jackson has to the school, as he told NJ.com in April.

"I like Rutgers, it's a good school," said Jackson, who visited Piscataway earlier this month. "My mom went there for law school, and my dad grew up in Franklin Township, so I'm kind of familiar with that area. My friend Kamren (Lott) plays on the team right now and I've known him since I was a little kid. And my friend Jacob (Kraut) is coming in next year (this summer)."

Jackson holds over 20 FBS offers from schools across the country, including California, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Wake Forest, Maryland, Purdue, Boston College, South Florida, UCF, Indiana and Louisville, and in addition to the aforementioned schools in his top five.

He's being recruited by Rutgers running backs coach Norries Wilson, and says "a good academic program and a stable coaching staff" are what he seeks in a potential collegiate destination.

Jackson, a three-star recruit, according to the 247Sports.com composite, hopes to make his final decision before the start of the 2014 season.
